How best to describe such a quote:

"arcade is open late into the night and attracts "thousands" of people every day. Thousands!"

I'll certainly get flac for this comment, but I actually despise comics, well superhero comics that is. Never could get into them. I do enjoy the Movies and TV Shows though, including Comic Book Men, its interesting to hear/read all the facts and details of things people bring in, similar to Pawn Stars.

And guess who asked for it to be like that, yep, the players during the very first poll to change 1.0's disaster. Granted, I don't care much for what it turned into, but its the next new MMO that must be played, but deep down I'm waiting on EQN after what SOE showed us, looks promising~!

Yeah I know, its funny how many people constantly kept asking when P4 would start and for more info, when SE very clearly said they'd reveal it all today during the Live Letter VIII, which was announced weeks ago! Silly impatient people...

.......

Actually 'Open Beta' begins on the 16th if you already had Phase 3 access or earlier, then on the 17th its open to everyone.

Psst. Who cares when there is Steam...

Well that makes perfect sense to explain the decline of the FF franchise. Especially considering that just about everything Sakaguchi has made since has been epic.

FFXI was more true to the franchise than any of them post VII and excluding IX! So too is FFXIV:ARR, they are true fantasy in a medieval type setting ala the original I-VI...

Exactly my thoughts, although FFXI was epic beyond epic and FFXIV:ARR should also be fairly good. When did Sakaguchi leave Square? Wasn't that prior to the time FFX was released?

Meh, as soon as Phil Fish needs more money, he'll announce that he never cancelled Fez II and thats he's been working on it. Kinda when he finally released Fez for PC Gamers on Steam when he was {speculated} to be running low on funds.

Oh yeah, such an amazing song!

And thats why these games have become so prevalent on Kickstarter, asking the gaming communities of the world to fund them. Because the huge multi-million dollar companies like EA don't have any interest in unique gaming anymore, nor will they risk making such.

Steam says I've been playing for just over 9hrs and I can feel I'm reaching the end of the game, however, based on the progress of the story, there should remain at least 2-3 rather huge areas to clear, not including side quests. Figuring it'll take me 13-15 total hrs to finish on the hard setting.

You make a good point I suppose.

"and have a girlfriend I care about"

Spiderweb Software's series of RPGs. Very old school looking, but incredibly deep and fun. Can get almost the entire series in the humble weekly sale going on now!

Kinda odd, SE saying they want to separate regions and have us play on our own cultural servers, then just the other day we have Yoshi-P {director of FFXIV} saying he dislikes separating the community in regards to not adhering to M$'s online policies to get ARR on the 360, and all this coming from the same company,…

Its still in beta numnuts, some of the graphical features have not been turned on yet!
